"It was also a room full of books and made of books. There was no actual furniture; this is to say, the desk and chairs were shaped out of books. It looked as though many of them were frequently referred to, because they lay open with other books used as bookmarks."

"Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open."
Books
"I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true."
People
"There is no self-portrait of me."
Self
"On my first days here I did not start work immediately but, as planned, I took it easy for a few days - flicked through books, studied Japanese art a little."
Art
"All art is erotic."
Art
"True relaxation, which would do me the world of good, does not exist for me."
Life
"If the weather is good I go into the nearby wood - there I am painting a small beech forest (in the sun) with a few conifers mixed in. This takes until 8 'o clock."
Painting
"There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits."
Appearance
"Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art."
Art
"After tea it's back to painting - a large poplar at dusk with a gathering storm. From time to time instead of this evening painting session I go bowling in one of the neighbouring villages, but not very often."
